Setting up as well as wrapping up the current scene/sequence:
144 BARNABAS - WILLIE - LOW ANGLE 144
Willie lies on the floor in the extreme F.G. as Barnabas runs and kneels beside him. Willie stirs, there is blood running from his neck, he opens his eyes and looks up at Barnabas.

And that's when today's quote -
Page 66/Scene 144 - Barnabas: 'Willie! Where is she?!'
- comes up.
End of scene - and end of sequence.
And when it comes to the dialogue, the descriptions, and the directions, things play a bit more interestingly in the film. From Barnabas shocked reaction at the end of Scene 143, the camera whips pans to begin Scene 144 with a shot of Carolyn's coffin with -
- Willie's arm sticking out of it (and it's nice to see that Carolyn's coffin is at least on planks and not directly on the floor - after all, we wouldn't want her to catch cold
) - and then we see Barnabas rush to open the coffin and reveal Willie and shortly he delivers an unscripted -
"Willie!" - whereupon he then bends over Willie, lifts him up, and sees -
- the bite wound on Willie's neck (and I have to say the bite wounds in the film -
- are really quite spectacular compared to the two fang holes on the daytime show and even on some of the shows of today) - and after examining the wound very closely (which one wonders why he fells the need to do because it's not like he of all people wouldn't know what it means (and it isn't so that the audience can see it better because while he examines it, it isn't as clearly on screen as it has been), Barnabas takes Willie by the lapels and after Willie opens his eyes and looks at him Barnabas asks today's quote, which he actually delivers as a somewhat less panicky "Willie, where's Carolyn?", but Willie nods his head in the negative and in a very weak whisper replies with an unscripted -
"I don't know." - before his head falls down to his chest - and judging by the expression on his face, that causes Barnabas to go into a deep panic -
